coming back to X4 after a two year break and god drat if these aren't the absolute worst first-person controls I've ever encountered in a game. How did I put 400 hours in this (by standing in a station playing galaxy manager simulator)

Anyone else on the beta having a problem with automine? Buying station is in the same system, with a 9k buy order, but my miners just idle with a full cargo load. I can manually order the trade and it works so it's not an availability or dock access problem.

edit: I think I might have figured it out. The lowest silicon sell price I can specify for repeat order is 111 cr. The station is buying at 110. I bet the autominer is obeying the 111 minimum. I've never encountered this before so I don't know if I'm right, if this is a previously known issue or if there's way around it. I guess I'll test a few things.

edit2: yep that's exactly what it was. as soon as the price went up by 1 cr everything started working. well, TIL.

If you have a recent unmodified save handy showing this, probably post your findings in their Beta feedback forum, looks like someone else has mentioned the auto pricing being a little weird but not gone into greater detail.

I blew away the save, sadly, but it was a custom start- I'm starting a new one with the standard Terran start and if the problem persists I'll definitely be passing it along. Being the previously mentioned 'Galaxy manager simulator' kind of player, this is a real big PITA for me. ALL the silicon prices crashed to 110 so I feel like its not just them trying some new balancing.

I might misremember it but your standing has an affect on pricing? I forgot if you can get a malus on pricing if they dislike you enough but still let you dock. That way your sale price could get pushed below minimum values for a ware.

The custom start I made had 0 rep across the board (among a bunch of other stuff) so to remove variables I decided on a fresh terran start. +10 rep, but the issue persists. Silicon trades only exist at 110 and automining/repeat orders can't be completed as a result. I'll be submitting the save and report later this afternoon once I'm home. That Beta Test Life baby
